Answer and Explanation:

Capitalism:

  • based on individual rights

  • promotes differences within individuals based on their "class"
  • countries with Capitalism usually have a Democracy
  • individuals can freely choose their job
  • profit/wages depend on an individual's willingness to put in work/effort
